The Temple Church is a late 12th century church in London located between Fleet Street and the River Thames, built for and by the Knights Templar as their English headquarters. In modern times, two Inns of Court (Inner Temple and Middle Temple) both use the church. It is famous for its effigy tombs and for being a round church. It was heavily damaged during the Second World War but has been largely restored. The area around the Temple Church is known as the Temple and nearby is Temple Bar and Temple tube station; all derive their name from the church.
In this location scenes were filmed the movie “The Da Vinci Code”

Arounder Montreal by Guest Photographer Jean-Pierre Lavoie

Montreal is the second-largest city in Canada and the largest city in the province of Quebec. Originally called Ville-Marie, or “City of Mary”, the city takes its present name from Mont-Royal, the triple-peaked hill located in the heart of the city, whose name was also initially given to the island on which the city is located.

Montreal is located in the southwest of the province of Quebec. The city proper covers most of the Island of Montreal at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. The port of Montreal lies at one end of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, which is the river gateway that stretches from the Great Lakes into the Atlantic Ocean. Montreal is defined by its location in between the St. Lawrence river on its south, and by the Rivire des Prairies on its north.

Guest Photographer feature: Discover Montreal through Jean-Pierre Lavoie’s Eyes.

“I love to photograph life in Montreal: You mix English and French and you get a well balanced blend of America with a little European touch.“

Jean-Pierre Lavoie’s friends and family in Montreal sort of scratched their heads when he told them he decided to work full time as a photographer specialized in panography since 2007. Lavoie’s past, he was a practicing electrical engineer for 15 years with an interest in cameras well fed by his late father since his youth. Now he’s a former practicing engineer who shoots stills and panoramas for businesses, museums, commercial buildings, festivals, Online magazine, TV stations and news events. That surprising career change from scientific job to photography entrepreneur was a bold decision indeed to better blend his artistic personality to his scientific background. Lavoie began to shoot panoramic images since 2001 while designing and testing electronics circuits to make electronic remote car starters, which are very useful during long Canadian winters. Then he caught the attention in 2007 of a book and multimedia editor that lead to some of his first photography contracts to shoot panoramas of churches and cult related buildings all over the province of Quebec. He started also at the same time to shoot news related panoramas for the main Online french and english newspapers of Montreal. By producing the first news panoramic images in Quebec for the Medias, Lavoie was a pioneer panographer that opened the way to news panography in Quebec. His clientele then opened up to various types of organizations like the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts among other museums, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, major commercial buildings, clinics, hotels, restaurants and local businesses. Lavoie was also hired to make panoramic images in Europe at some industrial and commercial plants. Traveling is another great opportunity for him to discover new cities, the world and, big surprise, to shoot more images.

More about Jean-Pierre Lavoie can be found at: Photojpl.com .

As of July 2009, Statistics Canada identifies Montreal’s Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) (land area 4,259 square kilometres (1,644 sq mi)) as Canada’s second most populous with a population of 1,906,811 in the city and metropolitan area population of 3,814,700.

Cathedral-Basilica of Mary, Queen of the World

The language most spoken at home in the city is French by 52.4% of the population, followed by English at 12.5% (as of 2006 census). The official language of Montreal is French as defined by the city’s charter. Montreal is the second largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris. Although a few francophone African cities are bigger in size, such as Algiers, Kinshasa, and Abidjan, it is agreed that none of these cities have a significant number of mother-tongue French speakers.

Montreal is consistently rated as one of the world’s most livable cities, was called “Canada’s Cultural Capital” by Monocle Magazine and recently was named a UNESCO City of Design.

Downtown Montreal, central business district

Though historically the commercial capital of Canada, it was surpassed in population by Toronto in 1976. Today it continues as an important centre of commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, culture, tourism, film and world affairs.

Palais des Congrs de Montra

Foyer of the Palais des Congrs de Montral

As of 2009 Montreal is North America’s number one host city for international association events, according to the 2009 preliminary rankings of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA).

As a North American city, Montreal shares many cultural characteristics with the rest of the continent. It has a tradition of producing both jazz and rock music. The city has also produced much talent in the fields of visual arts, theatre, music, and dance. Yet, being at the confluence of the French and the English traditions, Montreal has developed a unique and distinguished cultural face.

L'Astral concert venue

Another distinctive characteristic of Montreal culture life is to be found in the animation of its downtown, particularly during summer, prompted by cultural and social events, particularly festivals. The city’s largest festival is the Just for Laughs comedy festival, which is the largest in the world of its kind. Other popular festivals include the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Montreal World Film Festival, Les FrancoFolies de Montral, Nuits d’Afrique and the Montreal Fireworks Festival.

Arounder Krakow by Guest Photographer Szymon Madey

Krakw, also spelled Krakow or Cracow, is the 2nd largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland and a popular tourist destination. Its historic centre was inscribed on the list of World Heritage Sites as the first of its kind. Situated on the Vistula river (Polish: Wisa) in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century.

Krakw has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, cultural and artistic life, and is one of Poland’s most important economic centers. It was the capital of Poland from 1038 to 1596, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Krakw from 1846 to 1918, and the capital of Krakw Voivodeship from the 14th century to 1999. It is now the capital of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.

Guest Photographer feature: Discover Krakow through Szymon Madej’s Eyes.

“What I love about panoramic photography is that you are always being able to sit down and get inside the scene, reliving the moment and exploring details you might have missed before.“

A native of Krakw, Szymon “Zbooy” Madej graduated from the Jagiellonian University in 1994 and has been working in IT ever since. He discovered his passion for photography in 1980 and seems to have been faithful to it for the last 30 years, in the meantime passing some of it to his son, Jakub.
Doing panoramic photography on a non-commercial basis allows him to have something he finds invaluable: a complete freedom of choice, be it of subject, composition or mood. He feels equally well when capturing the fleeting moments (recently during the funeral ceremonies of Polish President), and when exploring some dark nooks of an old wooden church. An avid mountain hiker and small town explorer, Szymon always has his panoramic equipment ready, and his greatest rewards are approving comments on his site, panoramy.zbooy.pl.

More about Szymon Madej can be found at: panoramy.zbooy.pl.

The city has grown from a Stone Age settlement to Poland’s second most important city. It began as a hamlet on Wawel Hill, and was already being reported as a busy trading center of Slavonic Europe in 965. With the emergence of the Second Polish Republic, and throughout the 20th century, Krakw reaffirmed its role as a major national academic and artistic center, with the establishment of new universities and cultural venues.

After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany at the start of World War II, Krakw was turned into the capital of Germany’s General Government. The Jewish population of the city were moved into a walled zone known as the Krakw Ghetto, from which they were sent to extermination camps such as Auschwitz and Paszw.

In 1978, the same year UNESCO placed Krakw on the list of World Heritage Sites, Karol Wojtya, archbishop of Krakw, was elevated to the papacy as John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in 455 years, and the first ever Slavic pope.

Krakw, the unofficial cultural capital of Poland, was named the official European Capital of Culture for the year 2000 by the European Union. It is a major attraction for both local and international tourists, attracting seven million visitors a year.

In the Royal Wawel Cathedral, Sunday mass

The main landmarks include the Main Market Square with St. Mary’s Basilica and the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, the Wawel Castle, the National Art Museum, the Zygmunt Bell at the Wawel Cathedral, and the medieval St Florian’s Gate with the Barbican along the Royal Coronation Route.

Inside the Krakw Barbican

Krakw has 28 museums and public art galleries. Among them are the main branch of Poland’s National Museum and the Czartoryski Museum, the latter featuring works by Leonardo and Rembrandt.

The city has several famous theatres, including: National Stary Theatre, a.k.a. The Old Theatre, Juliusz Sowacki Theatre, Bagatela Theatre, The Ludowy Theatre, and Groteska Theatre of Puppetry, as well as Opera Krakowska and Krakw Operetta. There is also a concert hall the Krakw Philharmonic (Polish: Filharmonia Krakowska).

Krakw’s historic center, which includes the Old Town, Kazimierz and the Wawel Castle was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1978. The Old Town (Polish: Stare Miasto) is the most prominent example of an old town in the country. For many centuries Krakw was the royal capital of Poland, until Sigismund III Vasa relocated the court to Warsaw in 1596. The whole district is bisected by the Royal Road, the coronation route traversed by the Kings of Poland. The Route begins at St. Florian’s Church outside the northern flank of the old city walls in the medieval suburb of Kleparz; passes the Barbican of Krakw (Barbakan) built in 1499, and enters Stare Miasto through the Florian Gate. It leads down Floriaska Street through the Main Square, and up Grodzka to Wawel, the former seat of Polish royalty overlooking the Vistula river.

Podgrze Cemetery

Old Town attracts visitors from all over the World. Krakow historic center is one of the 13 places in Poland that are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The architectural design of the Old Town had survived all cataclysms of the past and retained its original form coming from the medieval times.

Mogia, Cistercian Abbey in mist

The Old Town district of Krakw is home to about six thousand historic sites and more than two million works of art. Its rich variety of historic architecture includes Renaissance, Baroque and Gothic buildings. Krakw’s palaces, churches, theatres and mansions display great variety of color, architectural details, stained glass, paintings, sculptures, and furnishings.

Shalom on Szeroka Street

Krakw hosts many annual and biannual artistic events, some of international significance, such as the Misteria Paschalia (baroque music), Sacrum-Profanum (contemporary music), Cracow Screen Festival (popular music), Festival of Polish Music (classical music), Dedications (theatre), Krakw Film Festival – one of Europe’s oldest events dedicated to short films, Biennial of Graphic Arts, and the Jewish Culture Festival.

Krakw Military Cemetery – All Saints' Day

It became the residence of two Polish Nobel laureates in literature: Wisawa Szymborska and Czesaw Miosz; a third Nobel laureate, the Yugoslav writer Ivo Andric also lived and studied in Krakw. Other former residents include famous Polish film directors Andrzej Wajda and Roman Polanski.

Boats moored along the River Yare. The buildings in the background belong to some of the several boat yards along this stretch of the river. The inlet leading to the crane also houses one of the stops for the City Cruises boat service that travels into the heart of Norwich.

The moorings here are in the process of being rebuilt (as of April 2010) – they are now far more substantial and less dangerous than they were a couple of years ago when they leaned at all angles and had several parts missing or collapsing.

The Norwich Southern Bypass can be seen crossing the river to the south-east.

An unmanned, ungated pedestrian rail crossing on the Norwich to Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft line. To the east the line passes underneath the Norwich Southern Bypass which can be seen crossing the river to the south. The footpath leads to Boundary Lane in the north and to a riverside walk down to Postwick to the south.

This panorama was taken from the footbridge that is all that remains of Whitlingham Station (closed in 1955). To the east the line heads towards Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft while the branch to the left goes to Cromer and Sheringham. To the west the line joins the main London line before reaching [[1349,Norwich Station]]. The buildings adjacent to the bridge used to house the goods sidings for the station.

South of the footbridge, a footpath leads to the River Yare.
